The remainder of the 2020 collegiate baseball season was canceled right when Ole Miss was looking to potentially have one of its best years in program history.
With that in mind, the Rebels found themselves sitting inside the Top five of Baseball America’s “Never Too Early” 2021 rankings, which took a stab at projecting what next year’s preseason poll may look like come February.
The Rebels were ranked No. 4 behind Florida, Texas Tech and UCLA. Virginia, LSU, Vanderbilt, Louisville, Florida State and Oklahoma round out the Top 10.
When the season was put on hold on March 12, and ultimately canceled, the Rebels had just won their 16th straight game, surpassing Florida for the nation’s longest active winning streak.
